ᐅ Plot of land with a slight slope

Hello,
the plot of land I want to buy is rectangular, measuring 20 meters by 25 meters (65.6 feet by 82 feet).
The land has a slight slope from the back left to the front right, about 1.5 meters (5 feet).
My question is: Is this considered significant, or would the plot still be seen as “nearly flat”?
If the land is leveled, there will be height differences of about 0.75 meters (2.5 feet) compared to the neighboring plots.
How should these height differences be taken into account later, especially on the right property boundary where a garage is planned?
Thanks and best regards,
Tom

Where is the street located, and where is the house supposed to be? How is the slope distributed across the planned building area? How do you plan to manage elevation differences? Retaining wall, concrete blocks, slope embankment? Are the neighboring lots already developed and landscaped? What happens to the water during heavy rain, and how do you prevent it from running into your door?

In my opinion, this is the unpleasant in-between stage. Most plots here have around 1.5-2 meters (5-6.5 feet) of slope. Everything looks fine in front of the house, but the back rises sharply from the terrain. This is too little for a hillside house and too much for a poorly planned flat design.

You might also need to be careful with reference elevation points.

The height differences are evenly distributed.
These should be leveled so that the plot is actually flat.
Retaining wall or slope? I'm not sure yet. I would appreciate any tips.

If you want to level everything towards the street, you will need to cut into the ground—either with a slope or a retaining wall. The area "front right" is or was at street level. So what exactly do you mean?

Yes, the road also has a slight slope, so I will need to level it out.
I have no idea yet how this can be done.

If the plot is "leveled," there will be height differences of about 0.75m (2.5 ft) compared to the neighboring properties.

They should be adjusted so that the plot is actually flat.

Terrain modifications across the entire plot will cost significantly more money than you would save by postponing the construction phase of the terrace roof. Theoretically, this plot could still be called "almost flat," yes—but seriously, do you want to take on the burden of having to implement measures on three out of four corners just to maintain surface drainage on your property after terrain modification?
A full-area leveling operation is overall not very sensible; you should focus more on adjustments within the house foundation area.

Even if this answer sounds harsh: the slope runs from the higher to the lower end, and the drainage must be directed to the lower end and still remain within your area of responsibility.

I never thought I would agree with 11ant on his one-thread policy, but honestly, about 10 threads a week feels a bit excessive.

Please stop with this piecemeal nitpicking nonsense :-(
